Why it works here

Valencia is made for walking with stories

Valencia's contrast between medieval and futuristic makes it visually stunning but confusing without context. Wexplo explains why the river disappeared (a catastrophic flood in 1957), why Calatrava built his sci-fi complex where it used to flow, and how the old city coexists with the new.

Best time to visit

March for Las Fallas festival, or April to June and September to October for beach and walking weather.

Getting around

Compact center — everything on foot

Local Tip

Walk the full Turia Gardens from the Bioparc to the City of Arts and Sciences. This 9-kilometer linear park follows the old riverbed, and Wexplo narrates the 1957 flood that redirected the river and the civic decision that turned disaster into public space.
